Presidents Cup or not, LPGA would love opportunity to play in mixed-gender event

JERSEY CITY N.J. — The U.S. has lost only one of 13 Presidents Cups. And with Team USA on the brink of another lopsided win, there's been chatter of adding women to the event to make the competition more competitive and entertaining.

Integrating the biennial event would certainly even out the teams, as 13 of the current Rolex Ranking's top 20 players would be eligible for the International team (non-U.S. or Europe natives). In this year's Presidents Cup, only three International players are ranked higher than the lowest-ranked U.S. player — Kevin Kisner, the world No. 25.

LPGA commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan told GolfChannel.
